7-09 (Algorithmic) Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4-and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $1,800, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods in $3,600. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $23 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,800 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let -the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week w the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s-1 if the production line is set up to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise s-1 if the production line is set up to produce the 6-cylinder connecting rods: 0 if otherwise a. Using the decision variables x4 and 14, write a constraint that limits next week's production of the 4-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 8,800 units. b. Using the decision variables xs and so, write a constraint that limits next week's production of the 6-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 6,000 units. c. wine tree constraints that, taken together, amit the production of connecting rods for next week. 185 30 4 d. Write an objective function for minimizing the cost of production for next week. Min x+ 54+ Previous Next>
